Senior iOS Developer

Job Description

Join our dynamic cross-functional team as a Senior iOS Engineer and play a crucial role in enhancing and innovating our leading mobile trading platform, used by hundreds of thousands globally. Help us maintain our high standards and drive our mobile-first strategy forward.

We’re a global, FTSE -listed company made up of a collection of progressive fintech brands in the world of online trading and investing. The best part? We’ve snapped up many awards for our top-class platforms, forward-thinking products, and incredible employee experiences.

We believe in financial freedom. And our purpose is to help ambitious people achieve it. Around , people use our groundbreaking technology and forward-thinking platforms to trade the financial products they know and love.

Did we mention we have offices in countries? Yes, when you join IG Group, you'll have the chance to work across multiple brands, with people all over the world. Join us for an exciting future and let’s innovate together!

Your role in the team

Team's work is vital to our business, ensuring we meet the diverse needs of our global user base across regions (UK, US, Europe, APAC), and maintain our position as a leading trading platform. And you will have a chance to play a crucial role in this journey.

As a Senior iOS Engineer, you will drive the technical direction and innovation of our well-established and mature iOS app. You will be responsible for ensuring the highest quality and performance of the app, meeting the high expectations of our global user base. You will work collaboratively in a cross-functional team, mentor less experienced engineers, and actively engage in adopting and promoting modern engineering practices.

What you’ll do:

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality iOS applications.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and other engineers, to deliver seamless user experiences.

• Implement and advocate for modern engineering practices such as pair programming, test-driven development (TDD), trunk-based development, and shifting left on testing and security.

• Drive technical innovation and continuously improve the codebase.

• Mentor and support less experienced team members, fostering a collaborative and learning-oriented environment.

• Open to work with cross-platform solutions to enhance code sharing and maintainability (the team considers KotlinMulti Platform)

Who we’re looking for

You’re curious about things like the client experience, the rapid developments in tech, and the complex world of fintech regulation. You’re also a confident, creative thinker with a knack for innovating. We know that you know every problem has a solution. Here, you can try new ideas, and lead the way in creating inspiring experiences for our clients and everyone around you.

We don’t fit the corporate stereotype. If you want to work for a traditional, suit-and-tie corporation that just gives you a pay cheque at the end of the month, we might not be for you. But, if you have that IG Group energy and you can stand behind what we believe in, let’s raise the bar together.

What you’ll need for this role

• Approx. + years of experience in iOS development with a strong portfolio of released applications on the App Store.

• Proficiency in Swift.

• Experience with modern engineering practices is a big plus: pair programming, TDD, trunk-based development, etc.

• Familiarity with mobile architecture patterns.

• Strong understanding of RESTful APIs and integration with backend services.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing frameworks.

• Excellent problem-solving skills and a quality-oriented mindset.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.

• Open to learning and adopting new technologies, including cross-platform mobile frameworks.

• We value face to face collaboration, so offer hybrid working model with - days (depending on the role) in the officeexpected.

How you’ll grow

When you join IG Group, we want you to have more than a job – we want you to have a career. And you can. If you spot an opportunity, we want you to chase it. Stretch yourself, challenge your self-beliefs, and go for the things you dream of. With internal and external learning opportunities, and the tools to help you skyrocket to success, we’ll support you all the way. And these opportunities truly are endless because we have some bold targets. We plan to expand our global presence, increase revenue growth, and ultimately deliver the world’s best trading experience. We’d love to have you along for the ride.

• Flexible working hours & hybrid working

• Home office equipment reimbursement
